Summary

Background \& Aims:

Abnormal colonic pressure profiles have been associated with an increased risk of colonic diverticulosis. A surgical history is a known risk factor for abdominal adhesions, and these may lead to increased intraluminal colonic pressure. We assessed whether previous abdominal surgery is associated with colonic diverticulosis or diverticulitis.

Methods:

The investigators analyzed data from a prospective study of patients undergoing colonoscopy for different indications from 2020 through 2021. Patients completed a structured questionnaire concerning previous abdominal surgeries, dietary and lifestyle exposures including smoking and alcohol use, and co-morbidities.
